6:53 pm
i'm not sure when jefferson park was establishes or names but st. paul has a corner on the place literally and figuratively we have cards for the park and been part of its activity for those hundred years in which the church building stood unfortunately, the church building burned our congregation moved into the school next door but conditioning concern for and care for the park has continued loss of the building was extraordinary proposition and ironic that even though it was a devastating loss it was a plus for the park because there was a
6:54 pm
rather significance shadow also that of eliminated and now we come back to the commission here and requesting that we be allowed in some a ways to return to the spot all be that with the residential unit as well but the cast the shadow to be cast was much less than the other building important issue for me is that this this or that this park across the street continue in its pristine way encouraged and supported and cultivated and st. paul has delivered for those hundred years and want to make sure that it is cared for in a reasonable fashion thank you.
